The 900-year old Tower of London - home to some of history's most famous prisoners, including Guy Fawkes, Anne Boleyn and the two young Royal Princes - has been trialling a GPS-based virtual game that allows visitors to re-enact some of the great escapes from the Tower.
The trial - run over the school half-term holiday in October - was put together over three months by the Historic Royal Palaces and HP Labs.
